Preliminary Specs: -Not complete specs, just a couple, to give you an idea...

-16 parts-At least 8 stereo voices-One oscillator per part, that can either be a multi-waveform oscillator, a stereo sampler, a noise generator, one audio input or both audio inputs.-2 filters per voice. 16 filter types.-Cross fading chop playback system for ultra smooth transitions between chops -See the XXX7 video for a demo.-16 Audio Tracks (only 8 can play back at a time at the moment). Chops while recording. Playback starts immediately when recording stops, and chops can be rearranged and re-pitched (again: See XXX7 video).-Sample time: Either 100 minutes (512MB) or 200 minutes (1GB) of mono sampling (half in stereo), kept in super reliable NOR FLASH memory. Samplings and audio tracks are immediately available when turning on -No loading time.-8 busses, on which insert effects and optional analog filters can be placed.-8 Insert effects, that can be placed on any audio bus. (Not 100% sure yet).-2 output effects.-16 sequencer note tracks.-32 sequencer controller tracks.-Morph Knob.

I have been working on a new LD design for some time. The first prototype looked like this:

Then my good friend Michal of Urban Failure came up with the idea of placing the step buttons below the display, and a new prototype was made:

This was later boxed, and became the LD3 prototype rev. 2, that is shown at the top of this site, and in the video's.

Unfortunately the electronics in it are a bit too cramped together, so the next prototype will be a tiny bit larger -In an Anamono X size box.
